Tip...when responding to any seed trade or 'offer' it is a good idea to scan through the posts in the thread to see if the OP (Original Poster) has updated, changed, or closed the offer...as in this case.

Vernake, huh? The one that rhymes with "snake"? Oh, no - that's the ones that were in the part of the big banks that assembled those stinky mortgages to pawn off on various unsuspecting investment agencies and people. Should have been forced to return their bonuses, at least, maybe 3/4 or their salary ... or no bail-out. As for that kind of mail ... I've had scores of similar type. Including from some widows claiming to be on their deathbeds with lousy in-laws who want to waylay their inheritance ... ... that they want to send me, to promise that I'll give most of it to charities, widows, orphans, etc. I haven't yet replied to suggest that they just give the money to a reputable charitable agency in their own land. One artist guy the other day wanted me to collect money from his customers here, as it was difficult to have them send it to him, then forward it to him. I wrote to offer the sugestion that he open a Canadian bank account and just have his cutomers transfer the money, then they can send it to him. He wrote right back, saying that he couldn't open a Canadian bank account ... and could I collect for him? I think that I'll write him to suggest that I want no part of money laundering. I did get an email the other day from a guy with a pipeline to the Ghadaffi system in Libya, asking that I receive some money from them, that I can use for five years or something like that, then return it. I've been thinking of writing to the Syrian embassy in Ottawa, asking the recipient if they aren't proud to be associated with the government of Syria, at this juncture? Our government just declared their Embassy closed, froze their bank accounts and gave their staff five days to get out of the country. After which one of their members asked to be accepted as a refugee. ole joyful

I'm having problems to-day too. I'm getting this " do you want to keep on writing" also. Also if something is in the draft folder, even after it has been sent it still sits there until I go back into the In box. Sometimes the typing goes up into a little box on the left hand corner and I can't get rid of it. My Yahoo calendar still won't work and I'm using the Google calendar but now it has started eliminating everything but to-days things and forward. I'm using Internet Explorer so it isn't always working either. On many things it comes up and says Internet Explorer is no longer working so will have to close. You shut it off and the site comes up anyway. All kinds of problems that I wish I could find answers for.

It's true, though, about Bourbons. I know from photos, that where they're happy, they're happy, but I've never YET met a Bourbon that wanted to live where I live. That's a real pity -- I love their look, but I know when to admit defeat. Still true about the pruning thing. Most of your Austins are budded. Most of the older roses -- are not. And until they build up some substance, pruning is the last thing most of the oldies need.
